Magnets: how to play, rules & tips
Play the Magnets logic puzzle free online. Fill the dominoes with plus and minus poles so every row and column hits its count and no two like poles touch.
How to play Magnets
The board is covered in dominoes, each two squares long. A domino is either a magnet, with a plus at one end and a minus at the other, or neutral, with both ends blank.
Tap a domino to cycle it: blank, then plus/minus, then minus/plus, then blank again. The gold numbers beside each row and column tell you how many plus and how many minus poles that line must hold.
Two of the same pole can never sit side by side or above and below each other. When every clue is met and no like poles touch, the board is solved.
Magnets boards and rules
There are 10 boards: four easy boards 5 squares wide and 6 tall, then three medium and three hard boards 7 squares wide and 6 tall.
Some clues are hidden on purpose. A blank clue means that line has no count to meet. Each board was checked by a solver to have exactly one solution. Hint is free and always correct, and Reset starts the board over.
Magnets tips
- A domino lying flat inside a row always adds one plus and one minus to that row if it is a magnet, or nothing if it is neutral.
- Add a row's plus and minus clues and compare that to the number of squares. If they are equal, the row has no neutral squares at all.
- Once you know one end of a magnet, the other end is the opposite pole.
- Like poles cannot touch, so a plus forces its side neighbors in other dominoes to be minus or blank.
- Check the columns too. Dominoes standing upright inside a column work the same way as flat ones inside a row.

Yes. HypeGameRoom is free: no sign-up, no download and nothing to buy to play. Arcade games reward Neons, a play-only currency that can never be cashed out.
Can two plus poles touch diagonally?
